When I open escrow I ask for them to close ASAP and request the deadline to be  7 days after my first email with them.

-is there a personal deadline you want to have the 1031's for that fiscal year complete and if so do you need that paperwork to file your taxes or is the 1031 process a complete separate thing? 

You do want a written CFK agreement spelling out the details, particularly the amount and deadline. 

The deadline for 2017 RMD’s is December 31, 2017.

I'd give them a deadline to fix it, if they can't meet that then have someone do it professionally and deduct it from their final payment and send over the invoice.

If you are, lowering taxable income to get below the threshold amount, or making an S election and paying out wages become front-burner priorities" Issue is deadlines for filing S corp have passed.

When I’m searching on Amazon (curtain rods, curtains, small kitchen appliances, etc), there’s often a used product available to buy - these are usually just open boxes, and if purchased through the Amazon Warehouse, fully refundable up to 30 days (sometimes a part may be missing but worth the savings if you’re really crunching pennies and don’t have a tight deadline).

There is certainly a balance here and in my opinion regardless of whether it is a subcontractor or GC, they should have some experience delegating duty and being realistic with time deadlines.

If you do not adhere to the payback deadlines, the loan will be classified as a distribution and will be subject to your ordinary rate plus a 10% penalty assuming you do not meet the minimum age requirements.

@Nathan Gesner you probably already know this but Wyoming changed the laws a few years ago requiring you send a letter to the tenant giving a deadline of a certain number of days before you can dispose of her stuff.
